[PATCH] powerpc/kasan: Fix addr error caused by page alignment

In kasan_init_region, when k_start is not page aligned,
at the begin of for loop, k_cur = k_start & PAGE_MASK
is less than k_start, and then va = block + k_cur - k_start
is less than block, the addr va is invalid, because the
memory address space from va to block is not alloced by
memblock_alloc, which will not be reserved
by memblock_reserve later, it will be used by other places.
As a result, memory overwriting occurs.
for example:
int __init __weak kasan_init_region(void *start, size_t size)
{
[...]
/* if say block(dcd97000) k_start(feef7400) k_end(feeff3fe) */
block = memblock_alloc(k_end - k_start, PAGE_SIZE);
[...]
for (k_cur = k_start & PAGE_MASK; k_cur < k_end; k_cur += PAGE_SIZE) {
/* at the begin of for loop
* block(dcd97000) va(dcd96c00) k_cur(feef7000) k_start(feef7400)
* va(dcd96c00) is less than block(dcd97000), va is invalid
*/
void *va = block + k_cur - k_start;
[...]
}
[...]
}
Therefore, page alignment is performed on k_start before
memblock_alloc to ensure the validity of the VA address.
